Spence Moderator United States 34428 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 3:38 pm @dar, another interesting piece--thx for posting. The artist, as you may know was Firmin Michelet for this medallion. I'm not seeing a pic of another example on the interwebs, but I honestly am not too sure about the best reference sites for these. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmin_Michelet "If you climb a good tree, you get a push." -----Ghanaian proverb "The danger we all now face is distinguishing between what is authentic and what is performed." -----King Adz Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 09/20/2019 5:42 pm There must be a French numismatic society of some type. I'd try them on this one. Possibly an Ecuador NS? Edited by moxking 09/20/2019 5:43 pm Report this Post to the Staff
pilegicvs Valued Member United States 66 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 01:05 am All of the "official"/standard 1900 Paris World's Fair Medals have French legends. This medal's legends are in Spanish - this was struck by/for Ecuador's participation in the Fair. (There may be examples struck for other Spanish speaking countries...) Report this Post to the Staff
